Interesting use of metaphor versus simile


He has dehumanized a lot of people of color - immigrants are animals, MS-13 are animals, terrorists are animals, Omorosa is a dog.

But on the Access Hollywood tape when the woman was white, he moved on her like a ____.

I'd be curious to see Trump's full repertoire of insults in the form of metaphors and similes to see how well that plays out.

Also, is that white domestic terrorist who set that forest fire in CA an animal? I saw at least one firefighter has been killed fighting those blazes (not sure if it was the specific one). Trump hasn't weighed in on that terrorist, though. He seems to not chime in so quickly on those with lighter skin complexions.

Trump isn't racist, though.
